With the SCM support on Governance Registry users are able to fulfill following scenarios. 

...

through the Maven SCM plugin. With the SCM support in Governance Registry, users can fulfill the following scenarios:

• Directly manage a resource that resides in a version control system from the Registryregistry. The user can browse Resources/Collections and do perform operations such as addadding, update updating or delete deleting resources from Registry end the registry so it will get effect on affect the version control system as well. 
• A user can add WSDL,Schemas WSDLs and other schema-like artifacts from to the Registry end registry and store all its their dependency structures in the mounted version control system. This would allow the user to use those dependencies with some other third-party product as well e.g. - Build Systems, such as build systems.
• If a user works with different types
of multiple
• of multiple corporate repositories such as SVN, GIT, Perforce, and VSS, and if the user wants to create a single view
which
• that allows you to browse and manage the resources, it is possible to use the registry for this aspect by enabling SCM support.

The Governance Registry can be easily mount mounted with an external version control system by following the steps given below.

Configuration to enable SCM support support

 In order to create a an SCM mounting in Governance Registry, stop the Governance Registry user has to server, uncomment the following configuration from in the $GREG_HOME/repository/conf/registry.xml and and properly configure it by providing correct values for the parameters. This has to be done while the server is in shutdown mode, and has to restart after enabling the following configuration. 

...

, and then restart the server.

<scm>
  <connection checkOutURL="scm:svn:http://svn.wso2.org/repos/wso2" workingDir="/valid/filesystem/path" mountPoint="/_system/foo" checkInURL="" readOnly="" updateFrequency="">
      <username>admin</username>
      <password>admin</password>
  </connection>
</scm>

The attributes of the given above configuration can be defined as below.Following are descriptions of these attributes:

• checkOutURL - The

...

• URL of the version repository control system

...

• to integrate with the

...

• registry. From this location the resources will get checked out to the registry. The URL should be preceded

...

• with: scm:

...

• workingDir - The file system location where

...

• the resources from the version repository control system initially check out

...

• to. This should be an existing location in the file system.
• mountPoint - The

...

• registry location where the resources from the version repository control system check out to. 
• username - The user name of the version repository control system.
• password- The password of the version repository control system. 
• checkInURL-  The

...

• URL of the version repository control system where the check in should happen if any resource addition, update, or deletion occurred. 
• readOnly - This is set to true by default. This is to define whether to check out only or

...

• check in and check out only. if readOnly is true, resources will only be checked out to the location specified

...

• by checkOutURL, if set to false

...

•  the check in would also happen to the svn location specified

...

• by checkInURL. 

...

• Therefore, when readOnly

...

• is set to false, you must specify the checkInURL. 

...

• Also note that when readOnly is set to false, any modification, addition, or deletion that you do on resources

...

• will be commited to the defined svn location.
• updateFrequency -

...

• Defines how frequently

...

• the

...

• registry and version repository control system should

...

• be synchronized with each other

...

• . The value is defined in minutes. 

After the server is started, the resources from the version repository control system would will be there in the specified location of the registry in the same hierarchical order.
